Andrew P Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I might sneak out for a early breakfast and join you Andy. Eltel / Terry I am hoping to get a lift with some mates, George T and the Manchester Mob will meet us at the Café about 9, that's NINE AM for an Early Starter and let the queue go in rather than stand in the cold and wind and deep snow. .

Andrew P Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Mum's much better, so no Hospital visit today, instead, down at her Bungalow to do some more sorting out. Once back home and a sleep in the chair after lunch, I decided to finish the first stage of the BT Platform, I hope to get some Buildings over the next few weeks. ALMOST got some Mojo back. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Guys, I should have some Station Buildings soon, and George tells me the Loco Shed is done, so I just need to make up some Coaling Stage and get a Water Tower for the Shed area. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrew P Posted February 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2019 Just home from he Stafford Show, and collected the L Cut Engine Shed that George T has built up for me. I couldn't resist plonking it on the Layout for a quick photo or 3. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 2, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2019 Sorry I missed seeing you at Stafford. I was supposed to be helping Dave Tailby with Tudwick Rd but my car had other ideas and broke itself. So you missed me with 0 gauge and DCC sound, on what is one of the smallest 7mm standard gauge layouts I know of. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the Car mate, you should have harnessed up one of the Good Lady's Orses. I'll have a look for that in the program, I must have missed it some how.

P.C.M Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Andy, Just been catching up. This is looking very good, very jealous of your Ivatt tank. Seems Dapol and Heljan are mainly interested in doing GWR loco's in 7mm. I know their is a Jinty but some more Midland loco's would be nice. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morning Peter, when I bought this Loco first time around, back in 2009 I also had the chance of the Bachmann Brassworks Tender version in Green, I couldn't afford two at the time. A nice Std 4 Tank would be good from the likes of Dapol, at the right price. Went to the Stafford Show yesterday and saw this Layout in O Gauge, other than the Locos you see on the Layout, there were at least another 18 plus on the table behind, all had sound, and some had smoke as well. only 19ft x 2.5fft inc Fiddle Yard and based in South London / Hither Green area. I'll put more pics in Seven Mills Sidings. NICE. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedman Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yes, I saw this layout too. Very nicely done. What I didn't like was that they left the sound running on locos parked up on shed. This created so much sound that it was difficult to pick out the ones that were moving. Trevor 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Hi Trevor, we commented on the same thing, with a Diesel Depot you need no more than 3 ticking over, otherwise it's overpowering, and as you say, you can't or identify a moving Loco. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted February 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2019 However, I remember walking around Frodingham Depot .. must have been during the late 1980s as I was at school at the time And there were 20s, 31s, 37s and 47s all ticking over at the same time and you couldn't work out what was what!! Perhaps its one of those aspects of modelling where trying to get as close to the real thing doesn't work in model form .. bit like water.
